The Citroën Elysée is a small family saloon car produced for the Chinese domestic market by the Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile, a joint venture between the French PSA Group (Peugeot-Citroën) and the Chinese manufacturer Dongfeng Motor. Production commenced in June 2002.
The Elysée was designed in China and is derived from the Citroën ZX, with many parts (including the dashboard) taken from the Citroën Xsara and Citroën Saxo.
The car has a VTS sport version with only red colour.
The Elysée VIP version was launched in 2005. The VIP is a stretched variant of the Elysée with a wheelbase extended by 15 centimetres and more luxurious interior taking similar styling cues to the Citroen Fukang. It then ended production in 2010.
The facelifted C Elysée was introduced on April 8, 2008, at the Beijing International Motor Show. The front and rear ends are heavily reworked, bringing the model in line with Citroën's current corporate design. At the end of February 2009 an Elysée hatchback joined the range, replacing the previous Citroën Fukang.
It is powered by the 1.6 L (1587 cc) PSA TU5 JP4 engine, featuring 16 valves DOHC design and producing 109 hp (81 kW; 111 PS).
